Philips Launches AI-Powered SmartSpeed Precise MRI Software at ECR
The updated software reportedly enables a threefold improvement in MRI scan time and enhanced image sharpness.
Philips has unveiled SmartSpeed Precise, an artificial intelligence (AI) software that may significantly bolster scan times and image sharpness with MRI scans.
Launched at the European Congress of Radiology (ECR) conference, the SmartSpeed Precise software allows up to a threefold reduction in MRI scan times, according to Philips.
